It’s a great time to be a Kansas City Royals fan! Celebrate the World Series with this fun Royals Blue cocktail and a Kansas City Royals t-shirt and hat flash giveaway!

Kansas City Royals World Series Cocktail from dineanddish.net

If you live in Kansas City, you can’t help but to have caught Royals Fever. The Kansas City Royals post season games have been unbelievable! And here we are, in the World Series, which hasn’t happened for this team since 1985.

In fact, I was in 6th grade and I remember I liked a boy who was hugely excited that the Kansas City Royals were facing the St Louis Cardinals in the World Series. I had no clue what any of it meant, because well, I was a 6th grade girl and couldn’t be bothered by that kind of stuff. But, in order to get the attention of said boy, I pretended to be the BIGGEST Kansas City Royals super fan! I have vivid memories of talking to him in the hallway before class started about the games and being all twitter-pated that he was talking to me. Needless to say, the “relationship” didn’t really last much past the world series… I mean a girl can only fain interest in something she is clueless about for so long. I’m sure he eventually caught on.

Win a Kansas City Royals T-Shirt and Hat from dineanddish.net

Flash forward to 2014, and the Kansas City Royals are in the World Series again…and it’s a BIG deal! And again, I’m trying to get the attention of a boy, but this time it’s my 12 year old son. You see, it’s pretty cool when your mom knows a thing or two about sports. And when you can have common interests with your almost teenage son (which means conversations that get him saying more than a yes or no grunt answer), that’s a good thing!

Kansas City Royals T-Shirt and Cleanup Hat GIVEAWAY!

I’m excited today to share a fun Kansas City Royals inspired cocktail recipe with you from UV Vodka as well as a women’s Kansas City Royals Scrum Tee and Cleanup Hat from 47 Brand.  As much as I wish cap sleeves would die a quick death, I actually really love this shirt! I think you will too!

This is going to be a 1 day FLASH giveaway, so make sure you enter quickly! Follow the giveaway widget below to enter to win! Thanks and good luck!

A special thank you to UV Vodka and 47 Brand for sponsoring this giveaway!

Now for the fun, you’ll want to have this at your Kansas City Royals World Series celebration cocktail! Remember to drink responsibly and enjoy!

(PS…please don’t drink and drive!)

    I was recalling to my kids, that through the last two games of the 1985 world series, I was at a fall Girl Scout camp out. We listened to the final two games in our tent on a radio… this year my oldest was at a Boyscout camp out, during one of the games ACLS games against the Orioles.

    As a girl, George Brett was my dream man. Those blue eyes, that intensity. Hubba hubba. You can take Rick Springfield and Scott Baio. My man spits tobacco and uses pine tar. LOL

    I read an article in the Boston Globe or maybe Sports Illustrated about him when I was 9 or 10. George said he used to stand at third base and hope the ball didn’t come his way. Eventually he realized, he could take anything hit at him and he’d mentally dare the batter to hit it down the line.

    As a young softball player who was afraid to make a mistake at third base, this totally resonated with me. I changed my attitude and became a much better fielder as a result. That season, I tried to get #5 in his honor but someone else had it. So I always wore #6 to be just one away from George but still my own number.

    I’m a Red Sox fan at heart but I’m rooting for KC this week.

    I am a diehard Royals fan having grown up here in KC. We’ve went to Opening Day every year for the last 10 years (probably more)! We used to campout overnight to be at the front of the line (before they put a stop to it). It even snowed on us one year but we didn’t care.

    I love the way our city has united around our Royals. I love the way the guys interact with one another and their fans. We got to go the Wild Card game, an ALDS game, and an ALCS game. I really wish I could make a World Series game. I definitely need some new Royals gear and love that shirt!

    GO ROYALS!!

    I’m glad to see this give-away. I like the ’47 Brand products and I was disappointed that they didn’t really have any Post Season Royals specific items on their page…b/c they have teams that didn’t make it as far, we just didn’t get any love…so, I like that they are making it up in a small way.

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

Supporting my local independent bookstore @rainydaybooks looks a lot different than it used to these days.

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
